TLDR
The effects of cochannel interference on the bit error rate of a QPSK satellite system are analyzed and the non-Gaussian nature of the interference and the small-signal suppression which may occur for uplink interferers are investigated.
Abstract
Increased frequency reuse in satellite systems will result in increased levels of cochannel interference. Such interference can in fact become the limiting factor affecting system performance. In this paper, the effects of cochannel interference on the bit error rate (BER) of a QPSK satellite system are analyzed. A nonlinear satellite transponder having a specified AM-AM and AM-PM transfer characteristic is assumed. An arbitrary number of up- and downlink interferers is considered. The theoretical results are compared with results obtained from time-domain computer simulations. Two facets of the cochannel interference problem which are of particular interest are investigated: the non-Gaussian nature of the interference and the small-signal suppression which may occur for uplink interferers.
